I hardly knew '...Well, dear old, old friend .... I hardly knew 'ye!<br />Now, I know what you've been doing with your time. I spent all morning learning what you've been up to the last two years. WOW! I was waiting for a furniture delivery; realized this afternoon that it's next Wednesday. Oh, well, spot cleaned the carpet and got a lot done, in my world, not yours! :)<br />You always were efficient, but, Mary, little did I know. What a "wonderful life" you've created with DH (?)! Not designated hitter ... <br /><br />Newly retired, I'm just checking out all this stuff that's happening out there; where have I been? Just got an iTunes account. Spent the weekend in Folsom with the twins; 50's father daughter dance; found a house in Historic Folsom; off to San Diego this weekend to see my Mom's BF and my BF. I bought a quilt, own an antique Singer. That's the way it will be with me! :)<br /><br />Well, what can I say? I was always amazed by you and now I'll sink into a great depression and try to figure out what I'll do the rest of my life. Did I tell you that I was presented with a 1906 Union Works Loom. Must learn how to use it soon. Did I mention that you're quite the photographer and writer?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452420623153585162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-82656875871367148562010-04-10T07:40:22.916-07:002010-04-10T07:40:22.916-07:00Beautiful pictures.

We had rain and gray skies today after our wonderful summery stretch, but the temperatures stayed warm and for that I'm grateful.<br />How lucky that you were able to pick up the little hummer and take him outside. What an experience!<br />Your weekend getaway sounds so delightful. Glad you had such a wonderful time.<br />Sewing Easter dresses...what fun!<br />And entertaining that little fellow...pure bliss. Lucky you!<br />I'm glad you had such a happy Easter :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-66767620433477266782010-04-06T11:50:27.880-07:002010-04-06T11:50:27.880-07:00I just can't seem to keep caught up with every...I just can't seem to keep caught up with everyone. Sorry I am so long in commenting on your lovely post. I love that Pismo Beach area, the pictures are beautiful of the sunrise and sunset, some day I WILL visit there!<br /><br />The gum wall........Yuck.........why in the world would people think that was a fun thing to do?! <br /><br />Love the pictures of the little one picking the 'orange balls'! Just adorable.<br /><br />How many tortoises do you have this year? They don't bite? Were you able to find homes for all of the babies?<br /><br />It's still fairly warm here but a cold front is moving in for next week. Poor Mom and Dad are getting home just in time for a cold front!! I have their apartment all ready, groceries are in except for milk and bread. Didn't want to get it too soon.<br /><br />Take care dear friend, I think of you so often! xoxoxoxMidlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-44970224134598792562010-04-05T04:24:14.367-07:002010-04-05T04:24:14.367-07:00I just love your photos!

But it's supposed to yuck up again for Sunday - and Saturday when we have this big deal at our church for the community called "Easter Marketplace". Happens every year.<br /><br />Your trip looks wonderful - the views are fabulous after all your rain.<br /><br />The poor little guy and his ball! So cute. And I'm so glad the hummingbird was okay. <br /> <br />I wish I still sewed - I've been looking for a dress that will go with my purple shoes, but no luck so far - dresses are hard to find, it seems.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week-end.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-78049609569481434242010-03-30T13:45:01.721-07:002010-03-30T13:45:01.721-07:00How fascinating about the hummingbird AND the tort...How fascinating about the hummingbird AND the tortoises that come right into your yard!

We're just not used to these kind of temps for this time of year but like you, I'm sure not complaining!! lol With not having had any snow in March and no rain, everything is very dry so there's already a fire ban on...again not usual for this time of year. <br /><br />Awww poor little hummingbird, I'm glad you were finally able to catch him and put him back outside. I've had some hit the windows and I always hurry out to see if they're ok. Some have broken their necks but others have just been stunned. They should be coming around here mid May but it might be earlier because of the mild temps. <br /><br />The picture of the rolling hills is absolutely breathtaking! I've never seen fields of wildflowers like that. It's no wonder you love going to Pismo Beach, how gorgeous it looks there. <br /><br />Ick on the gum wall...I had posted a similar picture of the gum wall in Niagara Falls last summer and like you, I don't think of it as art at all! lol <br /><br />Poor little guy and his ball! lol Too funny to see the dog with it all deflated in his mouth. hehe <br /><br />How interesting that you get tortoises come to your yard!! That's definitely not something you'd see around here but I think it would be so neat. Good thing they're not dangerous with the little ones being there. What do they feed them? <br /><br />Take good care of YOU my friend and hope you're enjoying Holy Week:-) xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-39024247579391721462010-03-30T12:27:58.071-07:002010-03-30T12:27:58.071-07:00I love hummers and just put my feeder out today. ...I love hummers and just put my feeder out today.
